After hearing the song again in the Pink Flamingos video, I decided to ask all of you if you actually find the music romantic or not. Even though this is the theme from one of the most notorious movies ever known, I think on its own is a beautifully written theme. If you try to forget what movie the theme is for, then it could be a very mellow 70s-tune. I'll let the rest of you give your opinion, while you can listen to the whole song right here.

Riz Ortolani is my favorite composer by far. The theme is really complex; it's romantic, which fits the pretty landscapes that start of the film, but it's also sad and kind of plaintive when you think of it in relation to the burning of the village. The there's the synth, which is emphasized more in the "horror" scenes. I think it fits the film perfectly.

i find the theme of this movie to be a guilty pleasure, i absolutely love it but i relate it to a lot of the visuals in the movie and its quite haunting because of that. good thing it wasn't used to much otherwise i couldn't enjoy it so well.
